AMENDMENT OF SOLICITATION/MODIFICATION OF CONTRACT

SPE4A2-15-R-0002 Amendment 0008 Continued

The purpose of this amendment is to clarify an ambiguity that was created after the Government issued 

Amendment 0007 and to provide offerors an opportunity to amend their proposals as a result. To be 

clear, the DOD small business prime goals and the small business material spend metric identified in the 

solicitation are minimum requirements, which must be met in order for a proposal to be considered 

acceptable. The Evaluation Procedures Paragraph 2E Factor 4, Small Business Participation Plan

Evaluation Approach, is amended to state: “Proposals that fail to meet either the DoD small business 

prime goals or the 50% small business material spend metric will be evaluated as unacceptable. 

Proposals that offer to exceed the DoD small business prime goals and the 50% small business material 

spend metric will be evaluated more favorably.” The Instructions to Offerors Paragraph 2E Factor 4, 

Small Participation Plan, is amended to remove the text: “Provide adequate rationale if socio-economic 

entity goals are not met. Offerors are cautioned against only acknowledging a goal is not met, if 

applicable. Adequate rationale includes specific reasons why a goal is unmet and any actions being 

taken to increase any unmet goals.” Offerors must return this signed amendment along with any change 

pages to their Small Business participation Plan by 21 January 2016.
